How do i save a Facebook video to my computer?

[Bayenkrin]

Hey folks,

I could really use some guidance here. I've stumbled upon a super cool video on Facebook that I'd love to save to my computer, but I'm not quite sure how to do it.

I've tried right-clicking to save the Facebook video, but that doesn't seem to work. Is there a simple way to download Facebook videos directly to my computer? I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to tech stuff, so I could really use some easy-to-follow instructions or suggestions.

If any of you have figured out a straightforward method for saving Facebook videos to a computer, I'd love to hear about it!

Currently, I have a home PC running Windows 11 Pro. Thanks so much for your help!

Alright, looking for a fresh method to snag that Facebook video onto your computer, huh? Let's try something a bit different, focusing on our two keywords: "download Facebook video to computer." This time, let's lean into using a browser extension, which can streamline the process and make it almost as easy as pie.

1. Find a Trustworthy Browser Extension: There are several browser extensions designed specifically for downloading videos from social media platforms, including Facebook. For Chrome and Firefox, extensions like "Video Downloader PLUS" or "Video DownloadHelper" come highly recommended. Make sure to pick one that's got good reviews and looks legit to keep things smooth and safe.
2. Install the Extension: Once you've chosen your extension, add it to your browser. This process is pretty straightforward—usually just a click on the "Add to Chrome/Firefox" button from the extension's page on the web store. Follow the prompts, and you'll have it installed in no time.
3. Navigate to the Facebook Video: Head over to Facebook and find the video you're itching to download. With the extension installed, you should see an icon for it somewhere in your browser's toolbar, indicating it's ready to rock.
4. Download the Video: Play the video, and then click on the extension's icon. It should detect the video being played and offer you options to download it. Sometimes you can choose the video quality here too. Click on the download option provided by the extension, and the video will start downloading to your computer.

This method keeps things pretty simple and integrates directly into your web browsing experience, making it a snap to download videos from YouTube to computer Windows. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility。

Facebook offers a "Save Video" feature accessible through the ellipsis menu adjacent to most videos. However, it's essential to note that this function doesn't save the video directly to your local storage. Instead, it saves it within Facebook under the "Saved Videos" section of your account, allowing you to organize them into collections for later viewing. Should the video owner delete the content, you'll lose access to it.

Obtaining a Facebook video for offline viewing on your computer involves a slightly convoluted process, yet it's not overly complex. Initially, within your browser, click the ellipsis menu represented by three dots on the video and choose "Copy link" (Note: This option might not be visible for private videos).

Next, paste the link into a new browser tab, observing it redirect from a shortened link (beginning with https://fb.watch/) to a link starting with https://www.facebook.com/watch/. Modify the "www" part of the address to "mbasic."

By doing so, you prompt the browser to load the mobile version of the page. Right-click on the video and opt for "Open link in new tab." In this freshly opened tab, only the video will be visible, allowing you to right-click once more and choose "Save video as" to download it onto your PC.

Saving a Facebook video to a computer is possible if it's set to public access. For Windows, Mac, and Android users, the process involves copying and modifying the video link, while iPhone users typically rely on third-party applications like MyMedia.

Although Facebook offers a "Save video" option accessible through the three-dot icon atop the video post, it's important to note that this doesn't actually save the video onto your device. Instead, it merely bookmarks it within the app for later viewing.

To download a Facebook video on an Android device, begin by tapping the three-dot icon on the video and selecting "Copy Link." Then, paste the link into a browser and replace "www" with "mbasic." Subsequently, long-tap the video and choose "Download video."

Here's a step-by-step guide for Android users to save Facebook video:

1. Open the Facebook app on your Android device and sign in to your account if you haven't already.
2. Locate the video you wish to download.
3. Tap the three-dot icon positioned above the video.
4. From the menu, select "Copy Link."
5. Open a browser app on your device and paste the link into the address bar (you can do this by tapping the address bar and selecting "Paste").
6. Replace "www" with "mbasic" in the URL so that it begins with https://mbasic.facebook.com/...
7. Finally, tap "Go" on the on-screen keypad to proceed with the download.
8. After download, connect Android device to Windows 11 computer via USB cable and copy the video.
